Could that be why these puppies could not survive? I also noticed that she calls them teacups which I assumed was not a proper yorkshire terrier term. Also I read that if a breeder has more than a few litters a year you should beware of that breeder. Yet I see long time members here talking about her being an excellent breeder so it has raised all these questions in my mind. Am I wrong or is it because she is a member in standing here that it is ok for her to do all these things that others are talked bad about for doing? Just my thoughts. Thank you for hearing my questions. |
Very good questions. I know I'm going to start breeding when my bitch gets old enough, but, I am worried already and am only going to breed one female. I sure wouldn't want to be expecting 14 litters with in 2 mos of one another. Anyway, I also looked at the site, cute pups, but, a little too much $ for me to spend on them(some are more than I paid for my biewers), but, I didnt see where the females were #3, oh my, that is way too small. I have a biewer that is 2 3/4 lbs and one that is 3 1/2 lbs and there is NO WAY I would even consider breeding one of them. I know you have to look at their structure, so, maybe you could breed a 4 1/2 lb one, but, NEVER, and I don't care how good of a breeder you are, would I ever breed one that small. I would spay them and put them in a pet home. Now, I have to go back and look for myself on their sizes. Also, no I was told to beware of any breeder that used the term teacup when advertising pups
